US Presbyterian Church Considers Sanctions Against Israel

Pasquinel, you did a fine job reminding these lost souls to primarily focus on religion. After all, if PCUSA truly felt the need to "Apartheid Israel" and cease investments in Israel for contributing to human suffering, then PCUSA would "Apartheid" practically every nation for participation of human suffering. You did great, until your last comment delivered with extreme hubris. Since you also labelled "his people" in your comment, that definitely means you are Jewish. I know, dated one for a while. My almost father-in-law told me that if I ever wanted to join the "human race", then I need to find the right sized yarmulke first. You're right, his people! His people were sheltered when the Babylonians slaughtered, raped, and displaced "his people," lucky you. His people were sheltered when the Spanish Inquisition was torturing, murdering, and forcing conversions, hmmm, lucky you. Shall I continue with Hitler as well? His people felt it necessary to smash the only known handwriting from God himself, just because Moses was "angry", and then have the nerve to go back up the mountain and ask God for a carbon copy! But, deficate a synagog, and you may be stoned, I'm confused? Lucky for us, you are his chosen people. Yep! PCUSA will be put to shame for this attack on a sovereign nation who does have the right to defend itself. I'm sure the Israelis are in a mad panic, "OMG, PCUSA in withdrawing their investments! Run for the hills, then end is near!" I think it's more like, "Hey Seth," "Yes, Jared?", "Ever hear of PCUSA?", "No, Seth, let's google it!" L'chaim! BTW, since you did suggest that without Jewish inventions, the world would be a terrible place to live. Jews invented the atomic bomb, thermonuclear bomb, the cigarette machine, shall I continue? Yep, Jewish invention/inventors have made a direct impact on the technological/biological/chemical world we live in today, no doubt. Hey, you brought up the invention thing, so I can pick and choose! hehe PCUSA gives decent Christians a bad name and arrogant Jews, like you, help fan the flames of anti-Semitism. High five for goyim.....anyone.....no......leave me hanging? Hold your head up and be a proud Jew, that's cool. But let these types of Christians make themselves look like fools, hopefully they'll go away and real Christians can continue the peaceful relationship with the Jewish communities, and vise-versa. Schmuck! PS, sons of holocaust survivors created the world's greatest band, Rush! Goyim signing off now, goodnight.

Sadly USA and mainline churches have lost their moral compass and no longer follow our God of the bible. When you no longer believe God's word, brought to us by His chosen people, then He will give you over to your reprobate minds. Suggestion: turn back to Him while you still can, if not you lose eternally. PS his people don't really need you. So make sure you don't use any of the many products or services God allowed His people to discover, just look up Jewish Discoveries. If you are going to stop supporting Jews, stop using their inventions, you will find yourself in the stone age. PS they are not the instigators.
